     @arstechnica @edutooters As a classroom user of these products, I'm starting to ask myself (and school) some hard questions.
     Is anyone working on viable alternatives? Particularly to Google Classroom? I love the power of #Moodle, but GC ux is so much smoother.

     @arstechnica The guidelines were for regulators and auditors, the profits reflect what was truly in their cold, dark, hearts.

     @arstechnica Makes your blood🩸run cold!

     I’m done w/corp “self-regulation”. It’s a con.
     All those a$$hats pushing #deregulation starting in the 1980’s till today.
     Look at all it’s cost us.

     It’s been costing us our kids…our future.
     When will it be enough.
     Folks saying schools are “programming” our kids?
     Hell…what do you think has more of your kids focus? Sway?
     It’s the window into your child’s life.
     Allowing predators, bullying, self-hatred & isolation.

     #billionaires targeting our kids.
